Can I please email someone from the forum, to take a look and confirm what I'm seeing is actually correct. Can said person respect my privacy and not share images of my coin?

Im scared to face the music, I cant find any differences between my coin and the example which sold at the baldwin auction for 37k, mine also shows the weak /missing liner circle in the same place as the coin sold in the Baldwin auction. I dont want to post pictures to the forum for privacy reasons.

In some forums - e.g. Items for Sale - I was paging through endless supposedly unread topics (the "Next unread topic" button was at the bottom of every topic which should only be there for actual unread topics). Eventually - after wondering why so many people were selling stuff - I noticed the dates of each topic were a few years old! Has there been a software change very recently?

I saw most of his Davos speech - honestly, it was just a raving ramble complaining about everyone except his own team, yet claiming ridiculous false achievements in his first year.

Aha.. do tell more..I have a few and have been wondering where to go to discover more details out... any Ideas where to go? 👍

I couldn't agree more, I didn't have a agenda when buying coins and not knowing anything I bought any items I found old and interesting .....and cheap 🤷I like Paddy's with chunk missing...It has character, I have a few that have chunks missing and others with holes that have been worn as a pendants..... one is in a really good condition easy to make out the king and letters... I guess this came to be as it was worn rather than in circulation. 👍

Unless his full name was Harold Trumpsson?

Most of the stuff I buy seems to look like that

That's been to hell & back 😆 I think it's probably a cast piece rather than a forged die. The legends are neat.

5 Cents Buffalo & 1884, 1923 Dollars 👍

Even thicker, I have an 1819 in this box too!

The plot thickens. Another overdate spotted in the wild. Ebay. 1820 over 1819. Any sign of Seuk ? Love to know his take on these overdate forgeries it's strange yet fascinating.

AHA! only a couple of thousand coins to look through ? me to...Ive spent a year of sorting through 30+ years of boot fair and flea market finds, amongst my hoard there's been some surprising finds that I completely forgot about. there's a few silver Dollars amongst others I'm going to have to dig out a Buffalo coin...It has a mint flaw...I think, I have kept the silver ones that aren't to worn as I'm not in no rush to move these on until retirement 👍

"The Harold II silver penny hoard only includes pennies minted by the king" You would have thought a king would have better things to do

Sounds good, but we still need photos! Jerry

Thanks, I have been studying all of those images. I have used the main identifier for the obverse shown on Richards site being the R & I that don’t touch. And for the reverse the thinner waist/ trident shaft. ( If you draw a line from the nose of Brittania down to by her waist you can clearly see a wider gap on the no H compared to the heaton coins) then I have used the other identifiers for the P+r to confirm the main two.

You seem to know what you have 👍 These are the other pictured known examples off Richards site to compare. https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/1882-f112/

I found this interesting and some lovely hammered coins pictured: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2yerrqel7o

Hi, thanks ! yes, Including the tooth in line with the (1)882 14 teeth yes. The 1883 obverse from what I have seen shows the hair ribbon terminating in a point to the knot unlike the 1882 no H. Also the 1883 doesnt have the tuft of hair which is shown on all the examples, worn coins show this. I have read about worn or altered F111 (P+p), F114 (R+p),F115 (R+r) none of those pairings have the identifiers F112 (Gouby (P+r); Freeman 11+N)

Yes, there is no substitute for pictures of the actual coin.

One thing that stands out is the date width as should be 14 Teeth ( NOT 13 ) and also the possibility of the last digit being altered from a 3. Maybe post clear pictures as there is a lot more knowledgeable collectors on here than me and will be able to give there opinion.

Hi all, I have two sets of gold sovereigns that I’m looking to sell and I’m after some expert opinions: the two sets: 1989 Proof Gold Sovereign 4 Coin Set 500th Anniversary Boxed & 1987 Proof Gold Sovereign 3 Coin Set Boxed - how much I should be looking for each set? - best place to sell? - should I keep hold of them with the price of gold at the bottom? TIA

Hi I have just joined the forum because I would like to ask a question concerning the 1882 No H penny. If a coin has all the details below and no Heaton mint mark is it certain to be a London minted coin? Obverse: - R & I don’t touch. - the tuft of hair which is not on the Heaton minted examples. - The hair ribbon which does not terminate in a point like the heaton coins. - Victoria has a hooked nose compared to the straighter bridge of the nose displayed on the Heaton coins. Reverse: - 186 border teeth with 13 teeth between 1 and 2. - thinner waist/ trident shaft. many thanks in advance.

Someone has took a genuine 1820 coin and altered it to 1817 then cast it i assume. Anyway....I found the paper's that Gary Oddie wrote if anyone is interested. They are all on the link here...https://britnumsoc.blog/2021/10/09/counterfeit-shillings-of-george-iii-1816-1820-iv-a-contemporary-mould-revisited-gary-oddie/
